🏉 FROM THE CLINIC TO THE FOOTY FIELD 🏉

As well as being a pretty decent physio, some of you might not know Activate’s own Dave Sandison is also an expert rugby coach for the year 7 boys at Iona College.

This morning saw his team seal the deal with a perfect premiership - an 8 and 0 record, undefeated all season and only conceding 4 tries in all their games!

Well done coach Dave for giving up your time to coach these young men in a season they will undoubtedly remember for the rest of their lives in the game you love 🖤🤍🦍

🌟 From Chinese Medicine Practitioner to Stafford Physiotherapist - Meet Cooby the newest addition to our team! 🌟

Originally from Hong Kong 🇭🇰, Cooby brings a unique blend of healthcare experience to our team, having previously worked as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner before completing his Physiotherapy training here in Australia.

His diverse clinical background gives him a broad perspective on helping people manage pain, recover from injury, and stay active for the long term. 🏃‍♂️

When he's not in the clinic, you'll often find Cooby out running, exploring Brisbane's trails, or working towards his next running goal. His passion for movement and active living is something he loves sharing with his patients every day.

In this video, Cooby introduces himself and shares a little about his journey into physiotherapy, what motivates him as a clinician, and why he's passionate about helping people get back to doing what they love.

If you've been putting up with pain, struggling with an injury, or simply want to move and feel better, Cooby and the rest of our team are here to help. 😊

👇 Say hello and welcome Cooby to Stafford in the comments!

🥶 Does winter make anyone else's aches and pains feel worse? 🙋‍♀️

You're not imagining it.

Every year, we hear patients say things like:

🗣️ "My arthritis is playing up because of the cold."
🗣️ "I can tell it's going to rain because my knee is aching."
🗣️ "I feel so much stiffer in winter."

But is the cold weather actually causing your pain?

The answer is a little more complicated than you might think.

While winter doesn't directly damage your joints or muscles, cooler temperatures can affect how your body moves, how active you are, and even how sensitive your nervous system becomes to pain.

👉 In this carousel, we break down some of the reasons why aches and pains often feel worse during the cooler months.

And if you'd like the full explanation (plus practical tips to help you stay comfortable and active this winter), we've written a detailed article:

📖 Why Aches and Pains Feel Worse in the Winter: A Physio Explains

🔗 Read it now via the link: https://activatephysiotherapy.com.au/why-do-aches-and-pains-feel-worse-in-winter-a-physiotherapist-explains/

Remember: movement is one of the best things you can do for most aches and pains. Don't hibernate this winter—keep moving, keep active, and keep doing the things you love. 💙

Happy Birthday to our very own Ella 🥳🎉

At this point we’re officially renaming May to "The Month of Ella" first graduating as a Physiotherapist last week 👩‍🎓✨ and now celebrating another lap around the sun 🎂

Somehow, Ella still got the privilege of spending her birthday working a full day in the clinic… because apparently, Sam believes working on your birthday builds character (definitely not because he’s a slave driver 😅).

We hope your day is filled with coffee, cake, minimal paperwork, and patients who actually do their exercises for once.

Thanks for bringing so much positivity, care, and fun to the clinic every day. Have the best birthday, Ella! 💙

🚴‍♂️🔥 This one’s not just a ride… it’s a fight!

This year, Dave is taking on the MND Pies to Pacific Ride 2026… and it’s going back to its roots.

👉 Yatala → Byron Bay
👉 Including the brutal climb over Tomewin in the Currumbin Valley

We’re talking burning legs, steep climbs, and serious grit.

But here’s the thing…
This ride isn’t about the bike.

It’s about supporting MND and Me, whose mission is simple and powerful:
💙 No Queenslander should face Motor Neurone Disease alone.

Dave has set a goal to raise $500 for this incredible cause — and he can’t get there without your help.

Every dollar:
✔ supports people living with MND
✔ helps fund equipment and care
✔ makes a real difference to local families

If you’ve ever thought “it’s only a small donation” — this is your sign.
Because small adds up. Fast.

👉 Support Dave here:

Let’s get behind him and show what this community can do 💪💙

We are open Monday 27th April

Just in case you were wondering, we will be open our usual hours on Monday 27th April.
Our little PSA as some of the team (not mentioning any names 😅) didnt realise the decision whether or not to have a public holiday for ANZAC Day on Monday was made on a state-by-state basis and the QLD government has decided not to have an extra public holiday on Monday.

So whilst you can't enjoy an long weekend of leisure on Monday, you can come in and "enjoy" a session of physio instead.

Bookings can be made online or by calling your preferred clinic

🎉 Happy Birthday, Rachel! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating one of our quiet achievers here at Tingalpa, Rachel 💙

Rachel is the kind of person who doesn’t need to make a lot of noise to make a big impact. Thoughtful, dedicated, and incredibly consistent in everything she does, she brings a calm confidence to both her patients and our team.

Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find her clocking up the kilometres with her long-distance running 🏃‍♀️ a true reflection of her discipline, resilience, and steady determination.

This week she’s taking a well-earned break to celebrate!

Rachel, we hope your birthday is filled with everything you enjoy — a bit of rest, a bit of adventure, and plenty of moments to recharge. We’re so lucky to have you as part of the team 💫

Drop a 🎂 or 🏃‍♀️ or comment below to help us wish Rachel a happy birthday!
